Sounds cool, Tim. I've been buying Bitcoin every Friday and can't complain about the returns. Funny thing is when I asked 20 or so people I know, only 3 said they were holding Bitcoin. Its growth potential is still vast (until everyone realizes how f*cked up currencies are).

Love to hear it. Did you buy any other cryptos?

No, not yet. But I'm trying to keep an open mind about altcoins.

Hi Tim, as a newbie to Bitcoin what resources can you suggest to get me up to speed quickly?

Great post Tim!

On media, I agree. Check out @mikebenzcyber on X.

On BTC, yes

@lynaldencontact lays this out brilliantly in her book Broken Money - I wrote a thread on that https://x.com/neilwinward/status/1868842876983296074?s=46

And, most importantly, the ability to embrace and imagine this and make sh*t up for yourself to make your way is huge

Reading now. Any other good resources?

I love it when people diss the mainstream media. You are right, we are programmed by it. But whatever else you're looking at is also programming you.

And a good mind is a terrible thing to waste. #raisedwithouttv.

The line between ‘programmed minds’ and ‘free minds’ has never been clearer.

AI is not replacing humans completely—it’s rewarding those who embrace it.

Blockchain isn’t destroying traditional finance—it’s potentially exposing its inefficiencies.

If you can question everything, adapt to anything, and learn from everyone... You'll be alright.

Hi, Tim. When I get well enough so that I can type again without having to backspace and correct nearly every word, I will start my own Substack and drum up some new customers for my editing and proofreading biz. I'm sure every one of my current customers would be happy to refer someone to me. I DON'T want to be a millionaire. Wealth above and beyond a comfortable lifestyle comes with its own set of problems, not all of which can be solved with more money.

I’m so glad you wrote this piece!! Thank you for your optimism and guidance!

I know little about this topic. Newbie. How about XRP? Trump incentives and XLM? Your thoughts and where to learn more!
